NAB Day 2


Click here for video
Here is the last of my three videos from Las Vegas and the National Association of Broadcasters convention. This one is far less entertaining, leaning much more on the facts. Or at least the facts as I see them. I think I ran out of funny by the end of the trip. The absurdities of Vegas were no longer amusing, only annoying. It is time to retire my Nikon for eng work, I beleive. It was a fun experiment, but the audio was too hard to work with and it was nearly impossible to get a well-exposed, steady shot. But now I can say I tried it.

NAB Day 1

First day on the floor and here is my vblog from the day. Lots of silliness for sure, but there are a few brief moments of actual content. Sorry for the audio and lighting. Next year I'll stay light on my feet, but my expiment with the Nikon is only margianlly successful. Too much of the audio is largely useless.

NAB Day 0

Here in the land of sun, sand, polyester and bad hair. I am in Vegas, baby. I arrived yesterday, click here to see day one of the video blog. I made this one mostly for my kids. But video blogging certainly is fun, if not challenging for all the technical snafus. I am shooting not with a video camera this time, but with my Nikon 5700. It runs only at 15 frames per second and is impossible to hold steady. I am leaning on anything I can find to hold it steady. And the audio is often impossible to understand. But on the whole, it works. And no one suspects you are taking movies when you are shooting.
